The Andalusians aim to bounce back from their Barcelona setback and will head to Scotland hoping to turn the page with a win.
Real Betis Balompié will begin their 2023/24 Europa League campaign this Thursday, as the Andalusian side travels to Scotland to face Rangers. It’s a chance to shake off a tough display at Montjuïc against Barcelona and start their European journey with momentum, carrying enthusiasm into the trip.
Key details to consider:
-
Rangers and Real Betis have never met in European competition before. The Gers have not claimed a victory in any of their last fifteen European matches against Spanish sides (D7 L8) since a 1-0 win over Osasuna in September 1985 in the Copa del Rey.
-
Real Betis’ only prior meeting with a Scottish club in a major European competition came against Celtic in the group stage of the 2021/22 UEFA Europa League. Betis won 4-3 at home but lost 3-2 away.
-
Rangers have won five of their last six home games in the UEFA Europa League (D1) since a 2-0 defeat to Lyon in September 2021. That defeat to Lyon remains their only home loss in a group stage in the tournament (12 played, 7 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss).
-
Real Betis have suffered just two defeats in their last 19 Europa League group matches (W11 D6), both occurring in the 2021/22 season against Bayer Leverkusen and Celtic.
-
James Tavernier has scored 10 goals in the UEFA Europa League for Rangers. Only Marcus Rashford (13), Harry Kane (11) and Jermain Defoe (11) have more among English players in the competition. Tavernier’s seven goals in the 2021/22 edition were the most by an English player in a single Europa League season.
